This page is suffering from neglect. I don’t like letting it stagnate so I have two options; kill it completely or start writing again.
Recently I have had other things on my mind-too many other things. But, this weekend, for the first time in a month or so I’ve started arranging my thoughts into blog posts again.
Having had this break it seems like a good time to check how I’m doing with my goals for the academic year:-
Write more than 50 blog posts for this site
-Still possible, slightly off the pace-expect a flurry of short, awful posts in May.
Regardless of what degree I end up, I want to work hard enough that I am disappointed every time I get don’t an A. (As supposed to being shocked when I occasionally scrape one).
-On Friday I somehow got two A5’s. ‘Shocked’ dosen’t do it justice (though ’scrape’ does come to mind). Greater application required.
Plan an adventure for the summer.
-My favourite form of procrastination. Nothing concrete yet but watch this space.
Play and improve at a sport, depending on circumstances this is likely to be football, ultimate Frisbee, squash or table tennis.
-Disaster. Couldn’t be doing worse if I tried. FIFA is not a sport.
Draw/paint/photograph something I’d happily hang on my wall.
-Nothing yet, the immenent holidays might be my best bet.
Use my cordless drill
Not yet.
Use my tent
Not tent season.
Learn how to be a good correspondent
Doing ok. Room for improvement.
Play poker
Not even once.
Love my God, neighbours and enemies (in such a way that it is obvious)
Hard to measure. Hard to do.
Make it to MoTD time without checking the scores
Yes! Once! It wasn’t easy, but boy was it worth it.
Read at least six ‘proper’ books
I’ve read at least three that fall into the ‘proper’ category.
Fall in love
Not exactly a proper goal-I can’t tick it off yet.
Going by my progress thus far I can reasonably expect to have completed 4-5 of my 13 goals by graduation.
Abysmal.
